Getting rid of Security Warnings in Access 2003

[ChuckW]

Hi,

I have an access application that resides on a fileserv.
Some of the users have Access 2003 while others have
previous versions. Everyone who has Access 2003 gets
prompted with four different security warnings before
opening the database which I would like to eliminate.
The first one says "File Download - Some files can harm
your computer. If the file information below looks
suspicious or you do not fully trust the source do not
save this file." There is a box which is grayed out that
says always ask before opening this type of file.

I click open and am hit with another one which
says "Security Warnings - Unsafe expressions are not
blocked" I click no and am hit with two more of these.
I want to write a script that will open access and run a
macro but want to get rid of these warnings.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Chuck

Agreed, Chuck. This is so annoying as to be ridiculous.

You can avoid the message by setting your Macro Security to Low:
Tools | Macro | Security

If you do not see that menu option, right-click the toolbar area,
customize, and reset the Menu Bar. For more information, see:
